Artifacts
The Bow of Order is a powerful artifact crafted by Serrisona, the goddess of order and law, as a symbol of her authority and a weapon for her chosen champion. This magical bow is renowned for its exceptional accuracy and its ability to always find the weak spots in armor and cover, ensuring that its arrows hit their mark with devastating precision.
In addition to its unparalleled accuracy, the Bow of Order also possesses powerful anti-magic abilities. When fired, its arrows can create zones of calm and anti-magic fields, which can prove invaluable in combat against magic users or creatures with magical abilities.
Perhaps most intriguingly, the Bow of Order possesses a unique ability to harm beings of chaos who try to wield it. This makes it a potent weapon against chaotic creatures or those who seek to disrupt the natural order of things. However, the bow will never function properly for such beings, as it is a symbol of order and law and will only work for those who uphold those values.
